Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9722295A1] A health care device with which the user of the device knows the user's own health condition without being attended by any doctor or nurse. Of course, a third person can give an instruction to the user to measure the health condition or a third person can inform the user of the health condition. A pulse sensor (4) measures the plethysmogram at the finger tip of the user and an acceleration sensor (5) calculates the acceleration from the motion of the user's body. The outputs of the sensors (4 and 5) are converted into digital signals by means of a sensor interface (6). A CPU (1) judges whether or not the user is exercising based on the acceleration read from the interface (6). Then the CPU (1) finds the acceleration pulse of the user by capturing the pulse wave before and after the exercise. Thereafter, the CPU (1) calculates the ratio of amplitude at the inflection points included in the waveform of the acceleration pulse wave before and after the exercise, evaluates the exercise of the user from the amplitude ratio, and displays the results of evaluation on a display.
